"Ugh, um... um, um... um..."
Hearing everything he's been doing in Count Lerduct territory from Ray, Dusker leaks a roar like that while sitting on the couch.
Watching the roaring Dusker, Ray reaches for the tea the maid brought along in the middle of the explanation.
I even had tea in the reception room waiting for me before my meeting with Dusker, but there was still room for Ray to just have some delicious tea.
That's how Dusker finally stops roaring at the end of Ray's gaze drinking tea opens his mouth.
"Um, I think you've done well. Seems a little overdone, including amputating Count Lerduct's arms and destroying the mine, but overall, it's a satisfactory result."
It was usually a dasker with instant summary executions, but there were some parts of this Ray's explanation that were difficult to determine.
But he hasn't taken Lerduct's life, as Dusker demanded, and he's been pushing the rebels not to take his life.
Given the circumstances around here, everything Dusker asked for is clear.
On the contrary, it even fulfils demands from members of the neutral faction other than Dusker.
There was no need for Dusker to complain more than that.
I'm pretty sure I would have liked it to be a little more peaceful if I could... but that's only what I would have said if I could.
Ray has a very high level of combat power, but that's why fighting tends to be flashy.
Like Death Size and Twilight Spears, they specialize in handling long-standing weapons, which I guess has something to do with the area as well.
Also, this request is only retaliation.
It was necessary to show the person who was trying to get his hands on Gilm that the series of events that took place in Count Lerduct territory was due to Ray's hand… precisely to the will of that client, Dusker.
This retaliation is a pretty hectic and overdone aspect of retaliation, but that's why I'm sure I won't be able to get my hands on Gilm in a detour from now on.
Most of all, even in such a situation, it may represent the depth of human desire.
That's all the city called Gilm is charming.
As the only periphery in the kingdom of Mireana, a place where faces such as massive amounts of gold, rare materials and armed adventurers come together.
It is a city on a documentary scale, but its reality is on a scale such as a quasi-city.
Regarding its size, it will undoubtedly be the size of the city in this addition.
But even on such a scale...... no, that's why I should say, I need to show so clearly that it's dangerous to get my hands on Dusker.
"If you say so, this one will help.... So you can keep the magic items you took from the Real Duct, right?
"Of course....... yeah? Why are you giving me that sorry look? You're a hobbyist for collecting magic items, aren't you?
Naturally Dusker also knows that Ray's hobby is collecting magic items.
That's why I suggested that all the magic items I've taken from the Real Duct can be Ray's property... despite that, Ray's expression doesn't look very happy.
"What's up? If anything happens, tell me. Ray has a lot to take care of. We'll get some accommodation."
Dusker also knows how capable Ray is...... no, he is too competent.
High manoeuvrability by item boxes and cets, high fighting power by rays and cets... other than that, if you raise the details, you won't have a cut.
That's why, if Ray has anything to worry about, he wants to do something with as much cooperation as he can, and it's not strange to think so.
With Dusker's gaze pointed at him like that, Ray opens his mouth with a troubled look on his face.
"Actually, it's a magic item I took from the Real Duct..."
With that said, Ray puts some magic items taken out of the mistering on the table.
Gemstone boxes with orgol features, paintings that change the scenery behind them as they can magic, etc.
"Well, that's a pretty hobby substitute for him. So, what happened to this? If you want me to buy it, I'll be happy to buy it."
"No, it's not"
Denying Dusker's words, Ray continues his words.
"What I'm collecting is only a magic item that can actually be used. That's the magic tent I used to get as a reward from Master Dusker, like that. But a magic item like this hand piece of art, honestly..."
I don't think I want much.
Dusker is convinced by Ray's words.
For Ray, the adventurer, the artwork of this hand will only look like it is something to redeem.
But Ray already possesses enough money to play and live the rest of his life, including family, lovers and friends, if he's a normal person.
Of course it would have been better if Ray had intended to, but gold and white gold coins could have been easily earned.
No, on the contrary, even light gold coins above white gold coins are not impossible to make.
By comparison, a magic item that can actually be used, like Ray wants, is not a substitute for being available if you have money.
Most magic items would probably be available in gold, but really valuable substitutes are not so easy to get just because you gave them money.
"Uh... I'm sorry. The reward for this case will include something magic that Ray would like. And if you don't want this magic item, you can buy it off me, but what?
Except for Dusker, even if it's a magic item that has no particular use for Ray and doesn't attract interest.
Dusker isn't that familiar with art either, but he needs to decorate this work of art as a Larks Borderline Uncle.
The only people who come to the Lords' Hall are not the ones who don't give a shit about things like looks and looks like Ray.
That is why it becomes even more important that merchants, such as the nobles of their factions, who have come every day lately need to look good, not to mention the nobles of other factions and their use.
That's why Dasker's office is decorated with paintings by some prominent painters, and the door itself has become something to be called a work of art.
In that sense, Ray shakes his neck sideways, although the Real Duct artwork, which was actually quite a hobby, was a dusker he wanted to buy.
"No, I thought I'd decorate the marina's house."
"... well. I see."
Dusker listens to Ray's response and so deludes himself.
For Dusker, marina was known for all the things that happened when he was little… and when he was young, he's not a very, but he's not a defiant opponent.
No, if Marina were to act harmfully against Gilm and against the Larks Borderline Uncle, there would be nothing for Dusker to follow either.
However, Dusker believed that Marina could not do such an imitation.
(I guess that also depends on Ray's attitude)
And, Dusker looks at Ray again.
Naturally Dusker also knows that Marina has a fondness for Ray... no, she has a deep love for him.
How dare you make the 'that' marina fall in love that far? On that point alone, he even had deep respect for Ray, his own son's age.
There were as many men who would naturally say that the word woman's luster took the form of a person's - dark elf's, to be exact.
But as far as Dusker knows, he never responded to it.
The stiff woman of chastity regardless of her appearance was the sentiment held by many who knew the character of the marina, including Dusker.
So when I found out Marina loved Ray, I had the thought that Dusker was incredible.
At the same time, it is true that I heard that the first woman in love loved a man about her own son, and that she was shocked indescribably.
Most importantly, the thought of the marina has already been completely settled in the Dusker. So there's nowhere to think about Ray.
Ning Ro, you can say I respect you.
"Master Dusker?
"Hmm? Oh, nothing"
I notice nature and myself looking at Ray with respect, and immediately shake my neck to the side to dispel that thought.
There's a huge difference between actually having respect for Ray and putting that on your face.
As one who stands at the apex of the guild, there is no way that such imitation can be done.
Take a small, deep breath, change your mood, and then Dusker opens his mouth.
"Well, if you're going to decorate the marina's house with this, you're not going to say anything from me. Just remember me if you're going to dispose of me."
"Ha, that's fine,"
Ray didn't know why Dusker was so bound by this magic item.
For Ray, who is oblivious to art, that is because it is a substitute that can only be used to the extent that it is exchanged for gold or used for someone's gift.
After a chat has been going on for a while, the door will eventually be knocked.
When Dusker gave permission to enter, it was one of the deacons working in this hall who came into the room.
"Dear Dusker, it's time for your next visit."
"Yeah? Oh, it's that time already.... Sorry, Ray. If it's true, I just wanted to talk to you more, but this one's working too. We need to talk, even if it's a nasty opponent."
I remember when Ray used to come to the office, there was a merchant who was yelled at by Dusker and kicked out of the office.
(like I was talking about dropping the quality of the materials used to build the guilds and nostalgic for that difference or something)
If you were an irresponsible deputy, you might have gotten on with such a suggestion.
But this is the home of Dusker, the guild that houses it directly.
Naturally, there is a strong attachment to the city, and it is significant that the neutrals have managed to act as one of the three main forces because they have a city called Gilm.
Beyond that, if we were to strengthen Guild's defense more, there was still no way we could have gotten on with a proposal that might weaken Guild's defense.
(I think you should choose someone, even if it's fraudulent)
I have some pity for Dusker that while I think about it that way, I also have to deal with people who come up with such suggestions.
If you are aristocratic...... no, because you are aristocratic, you often don't do what you want.
(If you think about it, I'm sorry to be a nobleman. I don't even think you like things that make me a nobleman.)
Ray was an easy-going thinker looking at Dusker, but in fact, there are never many who are after Ray as a nobleman.
That would make it possible to become an immediate nobleman if Ray said he wanted to be an aristocrat.
… so I'm waiting for a lot of very troublesome work.
"Well, I'll be rude around here, won't I? I have to report to the Alliance."
"Oh.... this is a sign of completion of the request"
Received the documents handed over, Ray leaves the room intact.
Then a merchant waiting in front of the door turned a stern gaze when he saw Ray.
I guess it didn't bother me that I met with Dusker instead of myself.
Most importantly, Ray interrupted Dusker's free time, so it doesn't mean that the merchant spent less time with Dusker.
In the end, the merchant goes into the office with nothing to say and the maid tells him to go inside.
(Well, I don't have Seto with me right now, and I don't have a death size, so I guess I didn't think he was an adventurer with an alias. Still, it would be a good merchant to spot the opportunity)
Ray quickly forgets about the merchant who went inside the office and asks another maid to show him where Seto is.
In places where they have come, this again, as usual, provides a variety of foods while others, such as maids, butlers and cooks who work in the hall and others, love Seto.
"Gru!"
Such a ceto sounds happily when he sees Ray, getting up and running out.
Those who ever loved Seto were relieved to see Seto, who looked happy to see Ray, even though they were sorry for how Seto was doing.
